DirectTV is not user friendly when in a travel trailer.  You will need an external antenna and a receiver box.  The antenna can be mounted on the ground and aimed at the appropriate satellite for DirectTV reception.  Hook the antenna cable to the antenna port on the Pod.  The receiver box will  need to be inside the Pod, connected to the cabling coming out of the wall and then to the tv.   The hardest part is getting the antenna aimed correctly and getting your service changed by DirectTV to the location you are camping at.  We do this with a t different camper in the summer.  The process has never taken over three days.  When in the R-pod we just forget watching TV and have fun.
Enjoy Life!!

I don't understand your question.. You want to use a satellite dish while camping? and you already are a DirecTV customer? As far as I know, wingard is your only answer for DirecTV.. get the "carryout", it aims itself.

Hello poders, can someone enlighten me on installing satellite on r-pod without going thru winegaurd? I can get a system as I have Direct tv at home, but need a satellite and have been told I can get one but don't know who can set up to reach signal. Would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.
